Make the Dough: Mix the all-purpose flour, water, yeast, salt, and sugar or honey in a bowl until combined. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Shape the Dough: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out.

Prepare the Instant Pot: Lightly grease the Instant Pot insert to prevent the dough from sticking. If your Instant Pot has a "Yogurt" function, use it for proofing. If not, use the "Keep Warm" function or manually set the Instant Pot to a low temperature (around 100°F/38°C) for proofing.

Proof the Dough: Place the covered bowl with the dough inside the Instant Pot. Close the Instant Pot lid and let the dough proof for the specified time in your recipe. Typically, proofing takes around 1 to 2 hours, but it may vary depending on the type of bread and the room temperature.

Check for Doubling: After the proofing time, check if the dough has doubled in size. If it hasn't doubled yet, allow it to proof for a little longer.

Remove the Dough: Once the dough has doubled in size, remove it from the Instant Pot and proceed with your bread recipe, such as shaping, baking, or further rising.
